So we went to change Peace's bandage tonight and were horrified to realise that where the bandage ended around his toes had swollen to twice the size they should be! He's not putting weight on his foot anymore either. We were shocked because there is no way he could have been that way for long.
We immediately called the vet and she seemed to be not too worried, but she was extremely distracted since I could hear her baby crying in the background so I called another vet and they said not to panic yet, and to almost milk it up back into the foot and apply cool compresses for as long as he will tolerate it. If it's not getting any better or if it gets worse, we need to bring him in to the clinic tomorrow.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Because even though the vet said not to panic, we're panicking. He's not on Metacam anymore and I can imagine this being fairly painful, we're just freaking out and assuming the worst.
So has anyone else had this happen before?
